A CMEO program objective is to promote what?

• A. Provide an environment free from personal, social, or institutional barriers
• B. Promote positive command morale and quality of life
• C. Each member of the Navy is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect and to work in an environment free of harassment and unlawful discrimination
• D. Service members must be evaluated only on individual merit, fitness, capability, and performance

Answer: (C)

The main concept here is creating a workplace where every Navy member is treated with dignity and respect and works in an environment free of harassment and unlawful discrimination. This is exactly what the CMEO program aims to promote, focusing on equal opportunity and a climate that rejects harassment and discrimination in all forms. While removing barriers, boosting morale, or evaluating members on merit are important in their own right, they are not the explicit objective of CMEO. CMEO centers on ensuring respectful treatment and a harassment-free environment, with leadership accountability and processes for addressing issues so everyone can perform without bias or fear.
